Fear of flying...

[tup61 1,619]

Anyone else here who has gotten fear of flying with MSFS...? I often find myself longing to jump in an aircraft and enjoy the views but more and more I notice I fear to start up MSFS... because I am afraid it will lock up, CTD, reboot the PC, not do what I want it to do. Or whatever. Really. Like this evening I planned to fly and enjoy a beautiful sunset but when I hovered my mouse over the MSFS-icon I (seriously!) thought 'This was a fine day... do I dare to ruin it...? Should I gamble and give it a shot....? What will happen?' and in the end I chose the easy way and played ETS2. I felt bad about it, really... I am serious here. Anyone else regocnizes this?

PS Made me think about this great golden oldie btw (which comes to show every cloud has a silver lining. Even an MSFS-cloud. 😉 )

Seriously, some of you guys need a break from this hobby...

Whilst I agree that it's frustrating when these things don't work, that doesn't sound very healthy to be honest..

Not so much a fear of flying but rather;

Before each flight; "Here we go then, what bloody nonsense are we going to have this time," sort of feeling.

Very like the real thing really.

I concur 😂😂😂😂

Same as Cheese.

If you are not in the mood for being let down by something unexpected I would take a break and do something else. Especially right now with a few bugs left to deal with.

Until I installed the CTD Vaccine, i felt that way too. Not anymore. All flights are great.

I finally did my Arrow flight and vram was upto 95% at landing, it's not a relaxing flight knowing that 2 out of 3 flights will CTD add to that trying to complete Career modes. In the other sim no matter what I fly or through at it or how long the sim remains steady at 55% vram

Tried to do a nice relacing 1 hour flight out in some Pacific islands last night....circling in the pattern at the destination....  Video drivers timed out.  Sigh.

What does relacing mean?

Is that a new procedure or a TYPO? These details are rather important you know.

If we're to help and advise.

It's custom, imagine selecting high settings but then I lowering a few to medium like shadown maps, terrain, depth of field ect. I think though that I pay the price for going 3440. Right now I'm parked with a 172 with GPU at 98% and vram at 89%. That's crazy.

I'm just at the point where I won't use the Sim until I see some positive posts about adobo rectifying the issue, no point

This is why I have many hobbies and projects on the go. My pc even allows me to install multiple programs, so if I am afraid of playing the wrong chord when recording in my DAW, I can take out my angst by hammering a quarter panel on my project car. Zen

Be afraid.

Be very afraid 😡
